5 Stylish Cafes in Mexico City for a Girls’ Trip!
📍 Juárez District Havre 73, Juárez, Cuauhtémoc, 06600 Ciudad de México, CDMX
The first café we’d like to introduce is a popular spot in the Juárez District, just a short walk from Reforma Avenue, Mexico City’s Marunouchi.“Café NIN (Cafe Nin)”is it.
Since this café was created by Elena Reygadas, a famous female chef in Mexico, the interior is carefully designed, and the menu is full of delicious, healthy dishes that completely win over women.
One must-try item is the bread called “Rollo de Guayaba (Guava Roll),” which has guava and cream cheese inside!
It also pairs perfectly with coffee or tea.
The menu is also extensive, so it’s a great choice for breakfast or brunch.
“Chilaquiles” is a breakfast favorite among locals, made with fried corn tortilla chips topped with special sauce, avocado, and cream cheese.
The food menu is full of vegetarian-friendly, healthy options, so it’s also a good choice if you’ve eaten too many tacos and your stomach feels heavy...
📍[Polanco]Emilio Castelar 149 (Anatole France) 11950 Ciudad de México, CDMX
📍[Condesa]Av. Tamaulipas # 130, Colonia Condesa, Cuauhtémoc, 06170 Ciudad de México, CDMX
Next up is “Budapest Café Cukrászda (Budapest Café).”
It has two locations: one in the upscale Polanco District, lined with high-end shops and often called Mexico City’s Ginza or Omotesando, and another in the Condesa District, often called Mexico’s Daikanyama. (The photos are from the Polanco location.)
As the name suggests, Budapest Café is the only Hungarian-style café in Mexico.
The antique interior feels just like being in Europe and is wonderfully soothing.
Our recommendation is the cakes made fresh in-house.
Everything is delicious, but the one you absolutely have to try is the cheesecake!
It’s topped with plenty of blueberry sauce, creating a great balance of tartness and sweetness. There are also lots of tea varieties, so it’s perfect for tea lovers too.
📍[Roma District】 Calle de Durango 330, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX
“Isabella Café” is located in the Roma-Condesa area, where many of Mexico City’s stylish restaurants and cafés line the streets.
The Roma District is also the setting of the Netflix film “ROMA,” which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and it’s well known among locals for its many stylish restaurants and cafés.
This café has a super lovely pink interior that really tugs at your heartstrings♡
The drinks and cakes are pink too, which instantly lifts your mood!
Our recommendation is the pastel-colored smoothies.
The whipped cream topping makes them absolutely photo-worthy!
The food menu ranges from Mexican dishes to pasta, so it’s also great for lunch with friends.
📍Av Michoacán 27, Hipódromo, Cuauhtémoc, 06170 Ciudad de México, CDMX
“Churrería El Moro” is a long-established churro shop founded in 1935.
The main branch is in the Centro District, but a few years ago it started expanding as a chain, so now you can find it all over Mexico City.
The white-based interior with blue lettering is so retro and cute!
The staff uniforms are cute too, which makes it exciting just to be there! Every location has an open kitchen, so it’s fun to watch them making everything right in front of you.

Churros
February Valentine’s Limited Edition
The must-try here is definitely the churros. You can choose from two sugar toppings for the original recipe churros, so be sure to go with the Mexican-style cinnamon sugar! Since they’re made in-house, they always serve them freshly fried. We recommend dipping the warm, crispy churros into hot cocoa.
📍Av. Álvaro Obregón 86, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX
The concept of “El Pendulo” is “Cafebrería,” a Japanese-made word combining “café” and “library.”
As the name suggests, it’s a café where you can relax surrounded by books, and the moment you step inside, you’ll be amazed by the walls covered with shelves of books! Book lovers will adore it.
Since it also has an actual bookstore, you can buy a book and start reading it right there.
It’s also unusual for a café in that it serves alcohol, so it’s great for a casual drink! They offer everything from Mexican craft beer to wine, so be sure to try it.
The food menu ranges from snacks to burgers, so you can also unwind with a drink in hand while reading a book.
